SYDNEY, Australia - eBay Vice President and leader of eBay’s Korea businesses will lead eBay Australia & New Zealand Pty Ltd from July following a decision by current leader Vice President Deborah Sharkey to move to eBay’s global headquarters in San Jose, USA.

New eBay research* has found over half (52%) of Australians have started their Christmas shopping earlier this year compared to last year, with a third (31%) claiming they had already started their Christmas shopping by late October. Shopping early is on the rise as early bargain hunters look to get ahead of the pack and make the most of increased choice and low costs.
